OEM Carrier Start Capacitor 88-108 MFD 330V for Model PH14NA030000AAAA

This is the factory-specified OEM start capacitor for the Carrier PH14NA030000AAAA heat pump. The start capacitor delivers the high-voltage electrical boost the compressor motor needs to overcome inertia and reach operating speed. Once the motor is running, an internal bleed resistor safely discharges the stored energy. When this capacitor fails, the most common symptom is a compressor that hums but refuses to start, trips the breaker, or causes the unit to hard-start and short-cycle — leaving you with no cooling or heating.

• Specs: 88–108 MFD (microfarad) | 330V rated | 2.06" diameter × 4.37" | Round case with bleed resistor | Factory ±10% MFD tolerance
• OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Carrier OEM part (P281-8806) sourced from Carrier's authorized parts network. OEM capacitors are wound to exact factory tolerances, ensuring reliable compressor starts and full motor protection — generic substitutes often fall outside MFD spec, increasing compressor wear and shortening system life.
• Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Discharge the capacitor fully before handling any terminals. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter. Always photograph terminal wiring before disconnecting. Capacitor swap typically takes 15–30 minutes.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. In-stock and ships same business day from our warehouse.
